1 have done a littie camping in recent years, in tact three years.ago we went on a camping trip to the east coast. During our camp- ing ventures we have stayed at a variety of styles and types of camrgrounds. We found, we liked the indepen- ently oerated camps, usuall paying a little premium, we found these more suitable due to slightly larger lots and better amenities along with a, more selective clientele. My family and I go camping wlith a small tent trailer, y et there ate other larger units thant cost the equivalent of a small bouse. Once these units are set-up on a site the owner afit'the grounds accepts some of the responsibility for, them, it is in bis own interest to look after the grounds and prevent the camp- ing punks from enter- ing. When a graup, or family, are on a camp- ing trip they may often fall in love with a particular spot and later w;,hen an oportunity presents itself may re- tlurn there ta buy a home or possibly set up a new business. So a well run campsite can act as an impetus in creating population and even industry as well as taurismn. Now it seems we have a local group of people who feàe cmpers are none of the above, in fact I was left wonder- ing, at the end of the evening, whether a camper was actualiy human. I ended up feeling a camper was a bard- d rinkin g, loud- screaming, fast- driving, arbage- polluting vandil This impression was created at, a recent planning committee meeting dealing with the rezoning of Cedar Park. The park bas been in existence for about ten years, most of the objecting residents have been there for less. Did they expect a park of this type flot to develop? Just because they* terminate further use of their lands, by their occupation of it, wby sbould the natural development of a priva te park be held, in stagnation due to their short-sigbtedness? These f ew people nat anly tried ta stigmatize campers, but also once again demanstrated the sadness' of self isb apathy. After their point was made and the committee finished with their, item they got up and lef t. The committee stili bad a full agenda before them ail about town business and how tbey spend aur money, but these people got Up and left. Such a sad and cantinuing comment on the apatbetic majority. In fact I understand that the legal repre- sentative of the objeet- ors was not even re- cruitWd within the Town of Newcastle, a further sad comment. This bid to imprave an existing picnic park cannot be equated, with the C.L.O.C. A Hampton Park, they are two very different pro posais. The C.L.O.C.A. pilan should neyer have been com- missioned, instead *they should have looked at Barber Creek from Highway No. 2 ta Lake Ontario, where urban. population could reach it on foot or bicycle.
